The annual GROW Brooklyn Festival is an afternoon celebration for all ages to discover the joys of gardening, to understand the importance of having access to healthy, affordable and locally grown food, and to participate in the modern backyard-to-table movement.

This year we'll explore Diversity Through Food and discover the many flavors that immigration has brought to our gardens and culinary landscape.

Come find RIF's stall and learn how to cook healthy foods from Afghanistan and Venezuela!

The IIHA and IPED at Fordham University are hosting a discussion panel, Seeking Refuge in New York: Perspectives from Asylum Seekers.

RIF's Associate director, Ellie Alter, and Sydney Kornegay from the RDJ Refugee Shelter– the only shelter in NYC specifically for homeless asylum seekers and refugees– will speak, in addition to refugees seeking asylum in NYC.

The event will be held in McGinley Ballroom at Fordham University's Rose Hill campus.

Course Description

Across the pond, the refugee crisis looks like the orphaned children of Aleppo; the overpacked dinghies that carry thousands across the mediterranean sea and the makeshift village of the Calais “Jungle.” What does the refugee crisis look like here in NYC? Who are the people seeking asylum, right here, in your borough?

Join us for an introduction to the local refugee crisis: a look into the lives of asylum seekers in NYC.

The workshop will explore:● The persecution that forces asylum seekers to flee● Important distinctions between refugee groups and the political histories of refugee/asylum law● Current lack of local and federal support for refugees and asylum seekers● Stories of the local struggle● The people and organizations in the local effort● Actions to support the local effort

Come learn about how to use Microsoft Excel, Google sheets, and other spreadsheet tools. These tools are very important in many industries! This workshop will help you improve your skills so that you will be ready to use spreadsheets in your field, and add to the skills on your resume/CV.

This event is for Asylum Seekers, Refugees and Immigrants.
